Most epic song based on history.

Not normally my kind o' music, but still awesome. There might be something weird on the end though, I didn't have time to listen to the whole thing- and it seems a little long.

Depends. If the Trojan War counts, I nominate "<url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snwvpJ7DxyY>And Then There Was Silence" by Blind Guardian.

Otherwise, I guess I'll give a half-hearted recommendation to "<url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9822KMCeA8>Age of False Innocence," which is about Galileo.

<3 You're my favourite person

Viva La Vida, by Coldplay. They never really told what it is about, but they did say they had someone in mind when they made it. Now this damn song is stuck in my head.

The Partisan by Leonard Cohen, with the Trooper by Iron Maiden as a close second.

French empire/revolution I thought.

American Pie by Don McLean springs to mind...although, I feel a bit out of place seeing as how everyone else is showing rock and Metal bands.

"When the War Came" by the decmberists. Great song about the siege of leningrad

Me too, but they never confirmed or denied that, so I'm still on the fence.

 

[Azraellod]

Well, my first choice is only loosely related to history, so I'll say this.

Spoiler: Robber Baron

 

[Hobo Joe]

Any one of Maiden's history-themed songs; The Trooper, Powerslave, (sort of) Alexander the Great..

 

[ygetoff]

How about Ohio? (Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young).

This is the only song on here I've heard of, so it gets my vote pretty much by default. Plus I like Neil Young.

 

[GrimTuesday]

mister James k. Polk by they might be giants

 

[AfterAscon]

Billy Joel - We Didn't Start The Fire.

Its quite a good Summary.
